Teaching Philosophy

My primary teaching goals are:

​

- To encourage students to think logically, critically, and creatively.

​

- To teach complicated finance concepts and financial questions in a simple and intuitive way.

​

- To provide students with practical-based learning experience.

"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication."
